Money and dates, kept apart

Amount types and date types are never blended. Each cell below states what it is.

Initial award on federal record
$20.2M
Current award value recorded on the federal award record for 70CDCR25FR0000094. Not a statement that this amount was obligated, outlayed, or paid.
Obligated at source snapshot
$20.2M
Amount obligated as of the snapshot read from the federal award record. Obligation is a commitment, not a payment.
Outlayed at source snapshot
$4.4M
Amount actually disbursed as of that snapshot. Obligation and outlay are separate reported fields, so a low figure does not establish that less was spent.
Reported potential extension
Not established
No reported extension value is recorded for this case.
Current award period ends
June 30, 2026
Period-of-performance end on the federal award record. Not a published decision date.

What can still be stopped

Concrete decision points only. A route absent here was not verified — it was not omitted for convenience.

No verified intervention windows are currently published for this case.

That is a statement about the records indexed here, not about the world. The unresolved questions below are the records worth obtaining next.

04

What this does not establish

What the evidence establishes

  • The award, the recipient, and the lapsed period end appear on the federal record.

What it does not establish

  • Whether a follow-on award exists after June 30, 2026.
  • Anything about conditions or treatment at the facility.

$20.2M to Akima Infrastructure Protection for Buffalo Federal Detention Facility

Institutional channels · not windows

Standing official routes. Each establishes only that the channel exists. No request, complaint, hearing, or investigation is implied.

  • Institutional channel · not a window

    ICE FOIA records channel

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement · ICE FOIA Office

    Concretely requestable here: any successor solicitation, award, or bridge action for this facility after the June 30, 2026 period end recorded on the federal award record.

    What this does not establish

    The official page establishes only that a request channel exists. It does not establish that a successor action exists, and no intervention window is published for this case.

07

Unknowns and records worth obtaining

Unresolved questions, not claims. Absence from the record is not evidence of absence.

  • Whether a successor award or solicitation exists after the June 30, 2026 period end.
  • Whether any member of the New York congressional delegation has requested the contract or inspection file for this facility is not established in the sources currently indexed, so no delegation oversight route is published as an intervention window or as a channel.
  • No concrete intervention window is recorded for this case at all. The federal period ended June 30, 2026 and no successor decision point has been verified. That is the state of the record here, not a finding that no decision point exists.
